Episode 36: Financial Armageddon, Rupa Huq is dumb and stop infighting on the left for the 83923239th time.
Truss and Kwarteng are amazing. Not in the good way, in the "I'm sat watching in amazement as the country implodes" kind of way. They do love the "technically we've only been in charge for 21 days" thing but this is the same inane sputtering set of guttural death rattlers who have been burping in the face of the British public for 12 years and 9 months: If they were a child, they'd be old enough to work in one of Jacob Rees-Moggs teenage workhouses. Their economic plans will decimate the UK.
Rupa Huq is a bellend. What she said about Kwarteng is not ok, and it's at this point I remind you that when you weaponise someones' identity, if you dont think about the splash damage then what you say will probably be bigoted and stupid.
And as for Jess Phillips and Owen Jones' little mingefest at the conference: that's exactly the sort of dross inane garbage that's going to keep the left from actually implementing any meaningful change ever- because everything turns into a who is the best lefty competition: grow up, call out the bad stuff, fix it and get stuff done.
